Our 1st longer run for a while and we went to visit Noel and his team at Friends of West Earlham Woods, where there's always a whole lot of litter to collect. It was just over 4km each way.

Robert and David were on their 1st GoodGym outings so a big welcome to you both.

Well done to Tasha who was participating in her 25th good deed!

Elizabeth, Bill and Amy C shared back runner duties this week.

After a warm up (which was very much needed after the temperature had dropped a few degrees yesterday) we set off to embark on our journey to West Earlham. On arrival Noel was distributing out the litter pickers, gloves and bin bags and the team went off in groups into the deep, dark woods.

At these tasks we always have a bit of a competition as to who can find the most exciting item. Tonight some of the items included: a zimmer fram, an electric fan and a giant Xmas candy cane (which Liam posed with very nicely).

After 30 mins we regrouped with all the bags of litter and just as we were about to set off, Amy had realised she'd lost her phone in the deep, dark woods... but we are GoodGym so straight away we all went to follow her foot steps to retrieve the item and within 5 minutes, eagle-eyed Rachel spotted it (she must eat her carrots!).

Another great task with a great group of people.

Next week, ITV Anglia News will be filming us at Adat Yeshua.
